Untitled. River. Alive.

The association is ending now, and some warm feelings linger. And the fact that I can completely relate to the philosophy made it even more amazing...watch the Alive is Awesome videos to know what I mean.

My last post in this series is a poem, and as yet Untitled...



Untitled...

I could walk on the water, I could fall from the sky,
I could live like this everyday, I could be like this forever.

I break away from the world, I break away from myself,
I am just an entity, so full of joy,
I am a speck of happiness, a dot on the map,
I am content, and I am complete.

I am away from the world, in my own world,
In water with myself, at peace with myself.
Everything so alive, everything so awesome,
The shower of the cold water, the smell of soft earth,
The fear of the unexpected, the love for it,
The freshness of the moss…
The imagination blurring into reality...

I feel myself waking up,
My feet and my hands itching to go out and splash again,
Time to feel alive in the awesomeness of it again….




The above is an attempt to capture the interplay of my dreams and reality as I thought about this trip (Zanzari Falls, Gujarat). I think it was far more romantic to end my last post of this campaign by sharing my innermost thoughts, and revive some old forgotten memories...
